Chapter 43: After a Week
An awkward silence hung over the table as they started eating. All the while, Rain’s mind raced as she tried her best to assess the situation she was in.
Surely, Alexander would bring up the topic of Twilight and the Gentleman’s Club. However, she still needed him to show up tomorrow night, and it was a gamble she was willing to take. It was obviously only a matter of time before he connected all the dots, yet in the end, she decided to continue denying her identity as Twilight anyway.
Breaking the awkward silence, Rain turned to Tyron and asked, "Do you also live here?"
"Oh yes," Tyron replied with a grin. "I stay in the apartment just below this penthouse."
"Aren’t you a hands-on assistant," she teased.
"You could say that absolutely!" he boasted. "I’m like the boss’s sidekick. And thanks to you, I get to eat the breakfast he prepared! Usually, I’m the one cooking our meals!" he added with a grin.
Rain simply raised a brow at the man’s pride. She could see how close the bond was between the two despite their different personalities.
"Just eat, Tyron. And stop blabbering nonsense," Alexander interjected, his tone firm.
Rain quickly shifted her gaze to her plate, focusing on eating in silence. Once they finished, Tyron offered to do the dishes, and Alexander gestured for Rain to follow him to the living area. Sitting down, he motioned for her to sit across from him. Of course, she complied, even as her mind swirled with thoughts of what Alexander might bring up first—their divorce, or Twilight.
